it will most likely be just the flexi that will need replacing as the cats are pretty tough, I was told tho that they can be a bugger to weld if they are blowing costhey are not made of the same metal as the restof the exhaust, hence why they last alot longer.

your best betis maybe a breakers for this, as a genuine new one could set you back more than what the car cost.
